Ankit Mahadevia lost a $1 million project because he tried to lead like someone he wasn't. This failure became the wake-up call he desperately needed.

As a quiet, introverted leader, Ankit thought he had to outwork his personality - be louder, more assertive, more like the "typical" leader. But when the team fell apart during typical challenges, he learned a harsh truth: trying to be someone else was exactly what was holding him back.

This moment of failure set Ankit on a path to discovering how quiet leaders can drive extraordinary results while staying true to who they are. From Ankit Mahadevia author of "Quiet Leader, Loud Results."
